# Description
This is a minimal REST API intended for use with a Continuous Integration system for managing comments on GitHub.
The problem this solves is posting comments in a PR from multiple builds without spamming the comment section. Instead we post just one comment with a table and continue to update it.

# API
It exposes 3 calls:
* `GET /builds/:repo/:pr` - Return all known builds for given PR in repo.
* `POST /builds/:repo/:pr` - Add a new build result and update the PR comment.
* `POST /builds/:repo/:pr/refresh` - Re-render the comment for given PR ID.
* `DELETE /builds/:repo/:pr` - Delete all known builds for given PR ID in repo.
* `POST /comments` - Show currently managed comments in PRs.
By default it listens on `localhost:8000`.
# Usage
```
$ cat << EOF
{
"id": 1, "commit": "7367f3d5", "success": true, "platform": "linux", "duration": "~15 min",
"url": "https://ci.status.im/job/status-react/job/prs/job/linux/job/PR-7123/1/",
"pkg_url": "https://status-im-prs.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/StatusIm-181212-211210-5157d2-pr.AppImage"
}
EOF >> /tmp/body/json
$ curl -s -XPOST http://localhost:8000/builds/my-repo/7123 -d@/tmp/body.json -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
{ "status": "ok" }
$ curl -s -XPOST http://localhost:8000/builds/my-repo/7123/refresh
{ "status": "ok" }
```
You can also check all PRs the application knows about:
```
$ curl -s http://localhost:8000/comments
{
"count": 2,
"comments": [
{ "pr": "7000", "comment_id": 446940840 },
{ "pr": "7084", "comment_id": 446779864 }
]
}
```
